Valentine Care offers holistic wellness services supporting both individuals and couples, through Asian body work, cupping, acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine & Intimacy Coaching.

Jenna has always had a love for people and the connections that can occur between them. She has a history of working with many different populations: veterans with mental illness, individuals with substance abuse issues, youth in foster care and juvenile justice, people without homes, wealthy individuals seeking relationships, and everyday people trying to get through this crazy life. Jenna’s extensive experience has given her a deep understanding of people and shown her that everyone shares one common desire: to love and be loved.

Currently based in Austin, TX, Jenna has her masters degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAcOM) and is currently pursuing her doctorate degree. She has seen the way a feeling of being disconnected can impact physical and emotional well-being. Jenna offers acupuncutre, cupping therapy and TuiNA body work services to help her patients reach their healing goals. She also utilizes her psychology background and training to provide in-depth intimacy coaching to individuals & couples looking to enhance their relationships with others and with the self.

Jenna has 1000s of hours of experience practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine in Chengdu China, at the Veteran’s Administration, Austin Recovery Center, People’s Community Clinic, AOMA Clinic, Community Wellness Hours and in private settings.

If you are looking for an open-hearted, non-judgemental individual to hold space for you as you explore your healing path then you have found the right person.

Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, Clinical Nutrition

I help people get stronger not only by treating symptoms but also by addressing the underlying causes of their ailments so they can be truly healthy again and thrive.

I use acupuncture and Chinese herbs alongside clinical nutrition with whole-food based supplements to support people seeking relief.
